Alexander the Great, of Macedonia, was one of the
greatest conquerors in human history. He established a vast empire spread
over Asia and Africa and reached even the borders of India during his final
conquest.

At his deathbed, he instructed his close associates to
leave his hands hanging free on either side of the coffin during his royal
funeral process. That was to teach the world that he could carry nothing
with him on his final journey.

We fail to realize this truth till we reach the last
moments in life. We waste a major share of our time, health and energy to
amass fame, wealth and glory. Money may fetch us a bed, but not sleep; a
car, but not safety; food, but not appetite; education, but not wisdom;
medicines, but not health, a house but not a home; a violin, but not music.

Provide for yourselves purses that don´┐Żt wear out,
and save your riches in heaven, where they will never decrease, because no
thief can get to them and no moth can destroy them {Luke 12:33}.
